Product Description:

The HCS01.1E-W0018-A-03-B-ET-EC-EC-L3-NN-FW is a power section in the Bosch Rexroth Indramat HCS IndraDrive Controllers series. As an HCS01 drive controller, it receives three-phase mains power and modulates voltage and frequency to command servo or induction motors, forming the core of positioning, conveying, or packaging axes. Within an automation cell, the module links the machine motion layer with supervisory PLCs, supplying precise torque and speed while the matching control section handles loop processing and parameter management for coordinated axis behavior. This arrangement keeps the power stage separate from the control electronics and supports flexible machine layouts.

Incoming line power of 3 x AC 200...500 V ±10% is accepted, and the converter can momentarily deliver up to 18 A of peak current to the motor windings. Heat is removed by internal air cooling driven by an integrated blower, so no external ducting is required inside the cabinet. For fieldbus and diagnostic data, the control electronics provide a MultiEthernet port that supports several industrial Ethernet protocols through a single connector. The IP20 enclosure rating requires installation inside a switchgear cabinet and protects against accidental contact with internal live parts.

The converter is paired with a control section classified as BASIC, which matches this hardware class. The drive also integrates STO (Safe Torque Off) circuits that remove torque-producing power during an emergency stop. Two identical feedback ports accept IndraDyn Hiperface or EnDat 2.1/2.2 encoder signals, allowing direct use of compatible absolute encoders without extra adapter boards. This supports closed-loop positioning without additional interface cards. Energy exchange with the DC bus uses infeeding and regenerative operation, so the unit can draw power from or return power to a shared supply.
